Younger Iranians are reportedly more reluctant to participate in the official celebration of anti-Americanism and anti-Zionism. But the government still uses the occasion to strengthen its rhetorical stance against its gravest enemies.

In the build-up to the holiday, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been promoting slogans and images on his official Instagram account. In Persian, Arabic and English, he vows, “The issue of Palestine will not be removed from the Islamic Republic’s agenda.”

Other Khamenei-endorsed social media accounts include @_FightingTheZionists and @Al.Qods, alluding to the traditional Islamic name of Jerusalem. Here, a rocket is accompanied by the caption “We love the struggle against Zionism.”
